  • Notes 
    • King Street, South Side

      At the easterly corner of Green Street there stood a one-and- a-half story frame building, lengthwise with King Street and about 25 feet back on of the street line, with a small verandah in front, occupied by Mrs. DeKay. A well, 80 or 90 feet deep, was sunk, probably 1840, about 30 feet back from the street. The location would be between the two present Roscliman houses.
